So if you guys read my last blog, I ranted about how I just quit sc. Here's just a small update on things.
First thing I noticed after I quit was that my social life took a HUGE pummeling. I really didn't realize it when I was playing starcraft but the majority of the people I associated with became fellow sc nerds...for the past year plus. It's kind of funny now realizing how many few irl friends I talk to/see regularly. Social networking time gogo.
Anyway, I went to a club last week finally after being of legal age for about 6 months (I am 19). Interesting experience. I realized first that I had like no new clothes (why dress up when spending every friday night playing sc right?). When my friends and I got there...something really important hit me...I COMPLETELY...like utterly and completely...forgot how to talk/associate with females. I considered myself pretty ok with girls before the past year of starcraft, not amazing but not bad either. I completely forgot about the eye contact thing, starting conversations, all that bs.
Turns out the club itself blew according to my friends (who had been clubbing several times), and I had to agree with them. The dance floor was tiny and hardly anybody was grinding which made things pretty boring. That plus since I had completely forgotten how to deal with the ladies, I pretty well did nothing at all, which I felt really weird about because normally I am not like that. Kind of funny how over a year of active sc will do that kind of thing.
School-wise, I gotta say, even though I am not as on-schedule as I want to be, I am doing wayyy better than last year. No more build orders and psi counts running through my brain 24/7...it's quite nice actually. My sleeping schedule is still a bit fucked up but it's better than before (lol I think many of you would agree with me that sc completely anals your sleeping schedule).
Also I started working out again! It's been about a month and a half and I feel way better.
Oh and to fufill my gaming need, I have gotten into Smash Bros Melee . Really dope community and I recommend it to anybody trying to get into the game because it's really fun and WAY less-demanding than starcraft.
Back to normal life haha.

Congrats - its good to hear that you aren't suffering from withdrawal symptoms.
You WILL get the ladies eventually. Don't fear.

Nice to see that your life is back on track.
I, myself, don't really play Starcraft as much. I'm going to say I play like 2-3 games in a three day period. However, I have finally broken the addiction to this game. My life is back on track as well, minus the socializing part. I really fucked up on school last year and all I did was smoke weed, hang out with friends, and play Starcraft. Now I am studying hard in college, hoping to get good grades, transfer out, and maybe get a girlfriend.
I'm not saying that Starcraft is a bad game for you but it will harm you if you don't know how to self-control. I came to realize that at the C level, I've worked this hard but what do I gain from it personally? Really, nothing.

i would also blame starcraft for your knuckles being white from inner tension and pants crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when you cant find a rape victim

rofl wtf?
Also I find it absolutely hilarious the line that the nightclub was shit cause no one was grinding, so people (women) have to be acting like complete and utter whores for it to be any decent to you? lol :s

Mhmm true that I was C- aiming for C and I agree.
Of course though, if somebody is really passionate about sc then by all means go for it.

Lol I don't see how grinding makes them whores...it's just fun. Girls like it too you know. (Edit: I love the bandwagon of people who assume that any time a girl is involved in anything sexual it makes them a whore. Come off it already, girls obviously want to be sexual as well as guys in certain situations, it doesn't make them a whore). The club was bad in general besides that as well. And the reason why no girls were "decent for me" was not them but me b/c I didn't make any moves :S
Thanks for the nice low rating though I noticed the drop.

hey resonance, nice to see you've moved on to something better and you don't regret leaving SC. maybe 1 day when you get back we can play a couple of games.
|
i rofl'd after EVERY paragraph
i didnt know people like you existed, being THAT into sc and not a top foreigner, i mean, WOW. :D
|
I play about 10 games or more per day and I still go out on fridays and during the weekend. Isn't that possible for you too? And I still have time for my studies aswell. Looks like your problem was about time management.
Anyways, congratulations if you are happier this way

I'd put SC over clubbing any day. It's not to say that playing SC 24/7 is a good thing though. I'm just not a clubbing type.

And if the starcraft fan can convince himself to approve of what is happening, then he becomes groovy. Groooooovy!

amen brother.
Thanks OP for coming back from "real life" to tell us all what it is like. I'll be sure to send you a PM with updates from SC fantasy land as soon as the damn baby stops crying and I don't have to work an evening shift on top of the day shift.

Heh I can kinda relate to this, there was a period of time where I played a ridiculous amount of BW, though I still had time to go to school and do things with friends etc. it was mainly my sleep that suffered in retrospect, often staying up to 4 or 4:30 AM when having to get up around 7:30 to go to school lol, good times.
But Mani tells the truth lol, it's perfectly possible to play BW and maintain an ordinary life.
